Backed by a co-op
Practical support from practitioners who understand the work.
Why a co-operative
Built by practitioners, for practitioners.
A co-operative structure keeps ownership and decisions in the hands of the people doing the work.
Practitioner owned
The co-operative is governed by the people doing the work.
Non-profit
No outside shareholders take a share of the value.
Transparent fees
The fee schedule is published openly before you join.
Surplus reinvested
Any surplus goes back into practitioner and client support.
A new ethical alternative
Less admin and isolation. A stronger voice for the NDIS.
Shared infrastructure can reduce duplicated admin, isolation and burnout, so practitioners have more capacity to focus on clients and stay in the sector. Together, members can advocate for a safe, fair and forever NDIS.
For practitioners
You do the clinical work. We share the admin.
Keep your clinical judgement, clients, reputation and way of working, and co-own the non-profit co-operative that supports your practice.
01
Practice essentials
Insurance arrangements, credentials, screening, agreements and records.
02
Money and operations

03
Professional support

You remain responsible for your professional practice. Pipa aims to reduce the business risk and duplicated admin surrounding it.
For clients
